CURRENT MISSION

Having an Ecologic Guest House, a nice place to chill and share ideas with travelers, read books, eat healthy food and play good music... A good place for good people!

ABOUT ME

Optimism is a Master Idea.

If you want to know your previous lives, look at your present conditions; If you want to know your future life, look at your present actions.

I must have been someone really good in my previous lives to deserve such a beautiful life now... I hope I'm becoming even better now!

PHILOSOPHY

Four letters: PITW, that mean: Poireautage In The Wind.

N'oublie pas de vivre.

There's only one moment that you can live in: the present moment. "Life is NOW". Trying to live in the present moment is also reconciliating myself with the past (what is done is done: has it been bad or good? What imprint did it leave on my mind?), and with the future.

I'm fed up drawing plans for the future, thinking about the moment when i'll be retired... If i can get along with myself now, that'll be the best i can do to feel good in the next years!

It takes time to enjoy things as they come, people as they are.

Accept pain when it comes as it is the only way one can live with no fear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't had a home of mine for a couple of years now, but the more I live the more important Hospitality is becoming as central vertu to me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met some CS around Asia and especially in Japan and Thailand. Thanks to Lubna, Su Ann and Xavier for the amazing karaoke night in Kyoto!

- I'm always up for a drink or a cool trip anywhere: good people only make good time!

Interests

The People: i love meeting them, looking at them, taking pictures of their lives... That's why I travel! The more different people i meet, and relate to, the weaker my Ego gets. We are potentially (in) every human being...

The Planet: wherever i set foot i get amazed by the beauty of this planet: from the heights of the Himalaya to the depth of the oceans, i can't get enough of that feeling of belonging to such a beautiful world. If only we could do more to protect it...

Spirituality: There is something. I don't know what it is, i don't know how to get there, nor why. I don't think anyone can show me the way... But for sure I am walking on my path.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Witnessing from the shikara the dance of hundreds of eagles at dusk on Nageen Lake, Kashmir, under a amazing sunset.

Swimming in the Andaman Sea of Thaïland, in Koh Phayam, with the milky way above my head, and the phosphorescence all around my body.

A tens days retreat in India which totally changed me and my life.
